and coming from the department of homeland security and the number one terrorist threat to america is the right-wing extremist, the conservative party or anybody who opposes the war or anything like that. and what did you think our country would be better served if our military was here to protect us and not spread throughout the world and the middle east like you said intervening all of this things and dropping drones on yemen and pakistan and innocent people and what ever. >> host: ambassador crocker? >> guest: you're absolutely right the primary duty of any administration is the security of america and the american people. that was true in the bush administration just as it is true in the obama administration. the challenge comes in figuring out how that is best done. in the will of the 21st century, where our threats come from non-state actors, groups like al qaeda it is a more complicated process and difficult one in many respects than it was during the cold war era. but again, one thing i would say to all of the c-span viewers is think carefully when you use the word enemy and d

secondly there was considerable discussion recently about the potential for america and/or nato playing a role in terms of the final resolution of the israeli-palestinian conflict and then third for many years there has been discussion of the potential american lead role, multinational role at the golan heights so one can imagine in an era of peace in a lot more than some parties would like to see america play world precisely at a time when as you say horridly tea implied by the absence of reference, the stamina to take on these initial roles certainly may not be there. the other point i wanted to make is very interesting jim, your focus on strategic communications in their reference to the administration a mullen's roland "the daily show" because the article that, to which mike made reference that admiral bollon road about strategic communications isn't that the powerful critique of how strategic communications have come to dominate axe of policy. i will quote from it just for a moment. and the strategic andification-- this is admiral mullen's article, i noticed a term of reference is

it has been sustained a long time in america but i think it would be impossible to sustain if we take the case to be fundamentally a libertarian case. there is a lot of good in with the libertarians have to say, there's a lot of truth. but i personally don't think the fundamental core actually is true as a matter of describing human life, human nature, and so there is certainly a problem there and i would try for a very different kind. i think social and fiscal conservatives can be natural allies, not perfect allies. there are vast differences on a very real differences but i think they can be allies if they both are neither liberal nor libertarian conservative, conservative and you don't want me to store on edmund burke because i don't stop but conservative and a sense that seeks just that kind of balance that has a vision of the liberal society as an achievement rather than as a beginning, rather than a set of principles that than have to be applied before malae and arithmetic onto social life. so, the view of things like present here is as much criticism of libertarians as liberals

[inaudible] >> the opt-in service of the voice of america. i just wanted to see if we could just widen this discussion out of it. you talked about the franchising of al qaeda, self radicalized and individuals. what is the threat as he looked back over the year, how do you evaluate the counterterrorism policy of the administration as it applies to afghanistan? >> well, clearly it's a major emphasis. with regard to not just going directly after suspected terrorists, with stings like dumb strikes in the counterinsurgency. my personal view is that as an overemphasis. is a political reaction to much of what this president faced. but if you want to change the emphasis, that's where it is. it has been so far. >> one down in front here. >> thank you very much for your comments, but none of your comments really touched upon the fact that virtually all of the terrorist incident that have occurred have been done in the name of a particular religion. my question is, to what extent is there a capability -- and this i think is especially pertained to mr. p
